This book provides an analysis of funding for agricultural research in the United States and presents a proposal to strengthen this system. Its premise is that a judicious but substantial increase in research funding through competitive grants is the best way to sustain and strengthen the U.S. agricultural, food, and environmental system. The proposal calls for an increased public investment in research, a broadened scientific scope and expanded program areas of research, and four categories of competitively awarded grants, with an emphasis on multidisciplinary research.
